Abdominoplasty can be done before or after pregnancy, but after surgery, it takes about 1 year to get pregnant and this poses no risk to the baby’s development or health during pregnancy.
In abdominoplasty, the plastic surgeon removes fat and excess skin between the navel and pelvic area and sews the right muscle in your abdomen so that the abdomen is firmer, even if there is a new buildup of fat. Abdominoplasty is usually done with liposuction so that fat accumulated in the stomach area and sides of the body can be removed.
Pregnancy after an abdominoplasty has some differences such as
Having an abdominoplasty does not prevent a new pregnancy, as it does not impair the functioning of the reproductive organs and the skin, however tense, also has the ability to stretch more.
If the weight gain during pregnancy is adequate, between 9 and 11 kg, the appearance of the belly may be very similar to that which you had before you became pregnant; however, abdominoplasty does not prevent the appearance of stretch marks, and in addition, the accumulation of fat can increase the abdominal volume, compromising the result of plastic surgery of the abdomen performed before pregnancy.
